For example graphic card, audio card, etc.. ?

    In System->Administration->System Testing there are a set of tests that check your system. They might not cover every piece of hardware but they do a decent job of getting the basics, network, sound, etc.

  2. You can test your sound stuff like this:

    speaker-test

    Completely contingent upon having working drivers though.

  3. You can check the health of your hard drive with System > Administration > Disk Utility
